"However, a fitter "mum" who takes care of herself through diet and exercise throughout her pregnancy will reduce the risk of complications, minimise any excess weight carriage and generally gives herself the best possible chance to have a healthy birth and new born child."

While experts advise that it's safe to continue working out while you're expecting, especially if you've been highly active before conceiving, naturally there are some parts of your gym routine that do need to be ruled out.

Harkirat Mahal from MotivatePT told OK! Online: "It is important to avoid exercises which involves lying supine or 'on your back' after the first trimester [week 1-12] of your pregnancy."

"As an example, the exercises to avoid include crunches, leg raises, some common yoga moves, and pelvic tilts."We know, it's hard to hear that the exercises that involve lying down are the ones to avoid.

Vogue Williams has always been a huge fan of the gym[Wenn]

But it's all for good reason. Harkirat explained: "The reason for avoiding this position is due to the increased weight of your uterus which can shut off the circulation to your legs, feet and baby.

"Your uterus will grow from the size of an orange to the size of a watermelon!"

As always, it's best to speak to your doctor and a specialist trainer about your fitness routine while pregnant.
